Ok well I will try to explain what I want to do... First I am an electrician, so i don't mind trying to attempt any kind of wiring...
I have an electronic ballast for a 250w Metal Halide bulb.. I have it on a timer to come on from 12pm - 8pm.. No problem... This is perfect.. The bulb in the 250w socket is 6500k lamp color...
I want to be able to run one 250w bulb from 12pm-4pm and another color lamp in another socket from 4pm-8pm...
I dont mind turning off the ballast for like 5 mins to fire up the second color lamp...
My first drawing was to have a timer on the ballast.. Turn it on from 12pm-4pm and then off from 4:01pm to 4:05pm and back on at 4:06pm to 8pm...
No problem there.. but how do I switch the load off the ballast from lamp to the other at 4:02pm - 4:04pm before the ballast fires back up...
Thank you so much for any questions and tips!!
